Looking at Jake Guentzel’s place among the NHL’s top young players

First of all, let’s put a natural disclaimer that if you attribute any time whatsoever in analyzing summer four-on-four shinny, it’s misplaced. No sense in looking at how anyone performs and trying to forward-project it to this next season or beyond. But it’s still been fun to see Jake Guentzel doing Jake Guentzel things in Da Beauty League for the sake of just seeing some hockey action in the middle of summer. I believe he either won the scoring title or league MVP last season along the way to a championship, and it sure looks like he’s in fine form again which is fun to watch the young man tear it up; nothing more, nothing less.
